When you start doing the Lv10+ leves, you make about 2000-4000 gil instead of like 200 gil per leve. Also, around levels 10 or 15, a bunch of side quests start opening up in all the cities, and more pop every 5ish levels. Do these quests, they're soloable, and they award low level gear. For things the quests don't get you, you'll probably have enough gil to buy things off the mercantile house. Oh, and keep up on your main story quest, and ASAP get on Company quests, as they both award tons of gil, eventually in the hundreds of thousands.
Saw this in another thread. Knew it deserved a redirect ^^
